| These are a lot of articles that I have read them recently , I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU Transformation Truth #1: "Nine-tenths of the miseries and vices of mankind proceed from idleness." Unfortunately, many of us have forgotten this and have gotten trapped in our current lives because of it. We’ve let our responsibilities and the need for safety weigh us down. We’ve stopped taking the leaps and bounds and chances needed to get us closer to the life we desire. Tragically, we’ve settled into jobs that lead nowhere, relationships that sink our spirits, and habits that hold us back. It’s not difficult to understand why so many people have anxiety attacks or undergo midlife crises—you would, too, if you woke up one morning and realized you were nowhere near the life you always dreamed of living. I want to help you consciously conduct a progress check on your life—right now, today. I want you to look at your life and ask these simple questions: Have I been charging ahead in life, standing still, or falling behind? Alert: Baby steps may be okay for starting out, but just taking baby steps without bold steps and big risks ensures that your life will forever be stuck in its infancy. |

Read this truth again: Either you are truly moving forward, or you are not. How do you feel when you read that? If you feel a sense of strength and pride because you know you’re giving your all to achieve your dreams, good for you.
If, however, you wince a little at this truth, then you know it’s time to transform your life. You should interpret that small “uh-oh” in the back of your mind as a clarion call to stop and do some serious stocktaking and figure out why you’ve gotten stuck in life, and what you need to do to get moving again.
Isn't it true that no matter how successful you are right now, you could be making more and faster progress towards your dreams?
Isn't it true that you've been holding back a little bit, that there's more "you" that could be showing up each day, vibrantly and passionately?
Isn't it true you already know what you have to stop doing and start doing to move forward right now?
At this point, a lot of people who hire me as a life coach or attend my events say, “I don’t know why I’m stuck in life, and I don’t know how to get going again.”
To these people I gently reply, “Yes, the fact is, you do know. All the answers lie within you.”
Then, in order to prove this to them, I often give them a sentence-completion activity. I write the start of a sentence and I let them finish it. For example, I’ll give them a statement that says, “To move forward in my life again, the first thing I have to do is…” It’s amazing how fast they can complete the sentence. They’ll immediately say, “Finally ask for a promotion,” or “Stop beating myself up over the past,” or “Ask for some help,” or “Stand my ground rather than get steamrollered.”
Most clients are surprised at how immediately they know exactly how to finish the sentence. They feel a renewed sense of confidence and competence when they know that they have all the answers within them.
I’m going to give you similar sentence-completion activities throughout these 8 weeks of coaching, which I call transformational turning points. I'd rather do these live with you, but I think you'll still discover this newsletter series empowering by itself. When you complete these simple yet profound statements, your life will turn the corner and you will begin to move closer to your dreams. Below are the turning points for this truth. So stop, grab your journal, write down each statement, and finish it as honestly and thoroughly as you can.
Transformational Turning Points:
The main reason I am where I am in life right now is because I chose to…
The main areas of my life where I seem to be spinning my wheels are…
The weight that I’ve been carrying around on my shoulders that has prevented me from moving forward is…
The dream that I absolutely must start moving toward once again is…
The first step I'm committed to taking right now is…
As you move forward, may the gates to possibility always swing wide open for you.
In friendship,
